We are a mature, non-smoking, married couple. We have been married since 2009 and have been on many travels and adventures both together and separately. We have travelled extensively throughout the USA and Panama. We also have a variety of jobs under our belts. Mallory taught English to children in Thailand for quite some time. She also volunteered with a street cat and dog rescue group there. Alex has been a referee for children's soccer (football) in the United States. He also studied business management and started a small, home - based shipping business of our own. We both adore animals of all kinds and find great joy just being around them. Being in nature, hiking, and experiencing new foods and cultures are some of our hobbies. We enjoy shopping for local food and take pride in being able to support farmers and the communities we visit in that way. We are active and energetic, but also quiet, homebodies at times. Give either of us a good book and we'll gladly indulge for awhile. We are respectful and try to be understanding of the needs of others. In general, we just enjoy life and each other and are grateful for each new experience or opportunity we receive.

Why we want to house sit

We love to travel. It is our first passion. Seeing new places and meeting new people is never tiring to us. Also, we work online and are fortunate to have the ability to live anywhere there is an Internet connection. We love the idea of house sitting. It allows us to experience an area as locals would. With our constant search for fresh, local food housesitting gives us the chance to keep variety in our diet. We also like to feel at home and to be around animals when possible. It is always nice to know that we are able to make someone else's life easier by putting them at ease that their home and pets will be looked after. Yet, we, in turn, gain just as much from the exchange.

Our experience

We have both lived with and cared for many animals over the years. Mainly dogs and cats have been a part of our family but we have also had fish, hamsters, rats, and rabbits. We have been home owners, renters, and guests. So, we know how to care for a home and understand the various day to day tasks as well as unforeseen obstacles that need tending to. We have also cared for the homes of friends and family members in various states throughout the USA. In addition to looking after their homes we have cared for their pets both young and old. We most recently looked after a relative's 9 cats and 2 dogs. Since we started and maintained our own home business we know how to troubleshoot and make important decisions. We have experience travelling and relocating. We have been members of the couch surfing community for a few years (that is a service that connects travellers with homeowners or hosts) . When we travelled we stayed at various homes found through that website. Sometimes the homes were left in our care and at other times we simply lived with the owners. In either case we acquired quite a few references through that website (can provide screen names if you would like to view our profiles there as well) . Most importantly, to these assignments we offer our flexibility and our trustworthiness. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask and we are more than willing to talk via Skype if you'd like further assurance. Thank you for considering us.

Mallory and Alex were wonderful! They took great care of my dogs and my plants and I came home to a spotless place. Most importantly was how patient and understanding they were with my pup Luna. I adopted Luna a few months ago and this was the first time I've gone on a major trip since getting her. Luna definitely had an adjustment period with me being gone but Mallory and Alex handled it like pros. I'm grateful they were understanding and took great care of my dogs!

Alex and Mallory were wonderful Housesitters. We loved getting to know this sweet, genuine, interesting pair and their playful dog Alfalfa. They were very kind with our dogs and cats and the house was taken care of perfectly, mail was brought in and plants alive (which is better than we sometimes manage ouselves ;-)). We would have them here anytime. Highly recommend them for housesitting.

Mallory and Alex stayed at our home for two weeks while my husband and I vacationed. They reconfirmed before the arrival date and arrived on time. While we were gone, they kept in touch and sent pictures of our dog. We got home last night to a very clean house, like we left it, and our happy and exuberant lab. After meeting them the night before we left, my husband and I had complete confidence to head out for a worry free vacation. All of our veggie and flower gardens, as well as indoor plants were well taken care of. Before they departed we had fun sharing our vacation experiences. Our dog looked wistful as they headed out the driveway. We highly recommend them and hope they will come and house/pet sit for us again.
